Is there a way to install this theme into the wine version metatrader 5 app?

You should be able to automate turning off the Light theme by setting "ThemeActive"="0" under [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ThemeManager] (tested on Wine 8.0), saves an additional setup step

This doesn't seem to do anything for me, anybody know if a .msstyle or .theme exists for this?

It didn't work for me either. The fix was to run wine regedit wine-reset-theme.reg first (i.e. run the uninstall command then the install). It looks glorious! Thank you to the creators!

A little modified colour settings for Winbox, more easy on the eyes:

Thank you so much for making this wine theme! I use it on all my prefixes and I love how it matches the rest of my DE.

Can you think of a simple bash script that may turn this on/off?

I did this and it's fairly simple. Just put the .reg files in a location where they won't be moved and made a script that just has "wine regedit [path_to_.reg]

I made scripts called "winedark" and "winelight" in my /usr/local/sbin folder that execute wine regedit and link to the reg file to apply and remove this theme respectively, so I can easily change the theme when I make new wineprefixes or need to disable it temporarily. You just need to make sure your shell session has the right wineprefix selected before using a script like that.

You can also add a registry setting to the enable and disable scripts using something someone mentioned above to automate disabling and re enabling the new light theme.

I met the same problem and found that you need to

  1. First, open winecfg. In the [Desktop Intergration] tab -> [Appearance] -> [Theme: ], choose (No Theme).
    (This is the key point to prevent what we set from being override.)
  2. Then, apply the theme "Breeze Dark Theme for Wine" by running wine regedit wine-breeze-dark.reg.
  3. Finally, restart wine to see the change - kill it with wineserver -k and reopen some program such as winecfg.

I imagine you could do some unholy wrapper script for wine (replace binary with script, move real binary to wine.real or some such, check current theme and apply the regedit on launch)

Would have to be done for winecfg separately as well.

Likely not worth the effort in the end since there's no built-in support for this.

Maybe someone will find this decolorized theme in Photoshop style useful. I made it for myself.
